Intro
| [G] | [C] | [G] | [C] |
| [G] | [C] |

| [D] .. I'll be your | [G] mirror, reflect what you | [C] are in case you don't | [D] know
I'll be the | [G] wind, the rain and the | [C] sunset, the light on your | [D] door to show
that you're | [G] home

Chorus
When you think the | [C] night has [D] seen your | [G] mind
That inside you are | [C] twisted [D] and un- | [G] kind
Let me stand | [C] . to show that [D] you are | [G] blind
Please put down . | [Am]  your hands... | [Am] .. cause I see | [C] you |
| [D] | [D]  

I find it | [G] hard to believe you don't | [C] know the beauty you | [D] are
But if you | [G] don't let me be your | [C] eyes, a hand in your | [D] darkness, so you
won't be a- | [G] fraid


Chorus
When you think the | [C] night has [D] seen your | [G] mind
That inside you are | [C] twisted [D] and un- | [G] kind
Let me stand | [C] . to show that [D] you are | [G] blind
Please put down . | [Am]  your hands... | [Am] .. cause I see | [C] you |
| [D] | [D] | [D] | [D] |

Outro
| [G] .. I'll be your | [C] mirror (Reflect what you are) |
| [G] .. I'll be your | [C] mirror (Reflect what you are) |
| [G] .. I'll be your | [C] mirror (Reflect what you are) |
| [G] .. I'll be your | [C!] mirror | [G!]
